I would advocate this patch being merged while the new execbuf API is being
developed. Currently there is no way to submit to 2 engine skus with 
non-sequential
engine id's. This doesn't introduce a new ABI, and there is no reason that I 
can see
that the new execbuf solution couldn't be made backward compatible with this.
